A South Florida girl, Stephanie Kuleba, 18, died Saturday after a breast surgery. She was the leader of a cheerleading team at West Boca Raton High School and she had recently been accepted to the University of Florida.

The teenager needed that intervention to correct asymmetrical breasts and an inverted areola, said the family’s attorney Roberto Stanziale, according to the Associated Press.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Stephen Schuster performed the intervention. He said that it was a routine procedure and that there was no indication that she would be affected by the surgery. He was devastated by the loss, too. Doctors say the cause of the death was malignant hyperthermia, a rare metabolic condition that can be induced by certain anesthesia. This determines high body temperature, which may reach 112 degrees.

The Food and Drug Administration doesn’t approve cosmetic breast implants for patients younger than 18. Those that need reconstructive or corrective surgery are an exception, and asymmetry is one of those cases.

Friends and family gathered at Kuleba’s parking space at her Boca Raton high school and turned it into a makeshift memorial with flowers, candles and a teddy bear, the AP reports. Her classmate Vicky Goldring, 16, told the Palm Beach Post that Stephanie was a model for a lot of people, she was very smart and a happy 18-year-old girl. That is why her friends called her “Sunshine” because she had blond hair and she always smiled.

As an irony, she wanted to study medicine at the University of Florida and to become a plastic surgeon. The doctor at Delray Medical Center who performed the surgery expressed his feelings of compassion towards the girl’s family.
